Remsa are quiet and good performance but very dusty.

Just a quick update on these, they had their second outing at Sandown on a 37 degree day on Sunday. Really happy with the hot bite and lack of fade (though had to do a lot of cool down laps because of oil temps so brakes got a rest too).

There's about 4-5mm left on the fronts after maybe 10000kms and two track days on a full weight GTT sedan.

Besides the crazy dust the only other thing I'd note is the somewhat vague feel when cold.

Still, recommended, especially at this price point.

Try Project Mu HC800 next time, it will blow your mind away and maybe your load too.

Those who rave about A1RM have never tried anything better. like a guy that's only owned a h0mosexual Honda Civic will say his car is the fastest thing alive.. till he or she hops into the likes of a Skyline and cream both their front side and back side openings.

Yeah I know, but ~$110 vs how much for Project Mu?

Had to post this here;

Brakes Direct/GSL Rallysport do an amazing job! I ordered my parts yesterday morning, and they arrived this morning. Overnight parts from QLD to ACT.

Ordered some new TRW GP600 Brake fluid 1L to do a flush. and some Remsa/Roadhouse pads for the front to match my already existing remsa rears.

All that's left is a new RR caliper as the one i have has a stripped fluid hole, and a lick of paint.

I'll be able to report back on how they go on a heavy stagea at the track in april.

Setup consists of; R33 gtst calipers - DBA 4000 T3 rotors F+R - Remsa/Roadhouse pads F+R - TRW GP600 fluid - Nismo braided lines front - APP braided lines rear

+1 for Brakes Direct/GSL. Ordered new Remsa fronts for $85 w/ free delivery on Tuesday night, received them on Thursday. Awesome.

Also as Trex and some others have pointed out they're currently supplying Roadhouse instead of Remsa. It's still the same pad, compound and part numbers.

Yeah, did a bit of research on this a little while ago :) Hmm I paid $10 more than you for my front pads :/

Yeah no idea why they are $95 at GSL and $85 at BrakesDirect, it's the same company?! Anyway, go cheapest :)

Screw Remsa, I got them on my GTT after hearing about them here. Never ever saw pads that spit that much dust in my life. Rims get absolutely coated with brake dust in a week. And the pads wear out quick. Cheap nasty shit, never again.

But you were warned that they are dusty lol. That's what everyone says. "they are great, but dusty" lol

haha this. I prefer to spend the extra 5mins each wash instead of paying $800 for new rotors.

So how did they actually perform on your car?

Even China shit cant be as bad as these.. :(

Hahahahaha. You don't know China pads like I do. You also didn't mention anything about the performance, just that they are dusty so they're shit.

Maybe check out Bendix General CT?

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
